Users can even view the Hoover Dam from every angle, as with the other man made and natural wonders

Where can you go?

In a totally unique experience, people who are bed bound or unable to afford to visit all the best sights in the world can travel through the highlights of Asia in an afternoon and see the scale of the Grand Canyon before breakfast.

By using a controller, which comes with Google’s headset Daydream, you can direct yourself around the globe and even zoom out to look at Earth from space.

What has Google said about it?

Mike Podwal, product manager of Google VR, said: “The world has so many beautiful and amazing places to visit. If we’re lucky, we’re able to travel and see a few of them.

“But even the most active travellers can only see a fraction. What if we could see them all?

“Ten years ago, Google Earth began as an effort to help people everywhere explore our planet. And now, with more than two billion downloads, many have.

“Today, we are introducing Google Earth VR as our next step to help the world see the world. With Earth VR, you can fly over a city, stand at the top of the highest peaks, and even soar into space.”
